---- Chapter 21 It was rainy and cold on the day Jenna returned. Sebastian immediately took off his coat and put it on her, and she smiled at him. Matthew, who was not far away, looked at their actions and felt pain surge in his heart. He stepped forward and looked at Jenna with vulnerability and anticipation. "Jenna, I'm here to take you home." Jenna took Sebastian's arm and answered indifferently, 'Mr. Simmons, please get out of the way. I don't have a home with you." Looking at her indifferent gaze, Matthew's heart hurt like it had been stabbed. He clenched his fists and pursed his lips. He forced down his unwillingness and agony before giving way reluctantly. "See you tomorrow at 8:00 am. I hope you won't be late," Jenna added.

She frowned impatiently and muttered, "Matthew, your crying disgusts me." His grip on her hand tightened instantly. He paused for a long time before replying with some bewilderment, "Jenna, what did you say?" Jenna broke free from him. Their queue number had expired, so she ripped the paper in her hand and took anew number. "Don't you get it? I don't love you anymore, so I won't feel bad even if you cry until you're blind. To put it more bluntly, I'll only worry about how to get the divorce finalized even if you were to die in front of me now." Her heartless statement shredded his last hope.
